Appraising DKV

2014-05-24 by Skanter123

I went and took another look at 2001 MPX 1Z UI upright I was considering buying. If you remember, last rime I checked it out I was unhappy with the feel of the action, as it seemed ultra light with little resistance or weight to it.

This time I took my tuner/tech. He inspected it carefully, but said there was nothing wrong with the instrument, and not much could be done to change the way it was. I own two other U1s, (one DKV and one non-DKV) and I really feel this piano is inferior in action and in sound. I'm surprised, as it is relatively unused, the DKV functions work fine, but playing the piano is nothing like the other two and just not a good experience. Very disappointing, as I wanted to buy this for my studio for teaching purposes.
